After filing taxes jointly for 2006 and expecting a refund in excess of $6,000, the IRS notified me and my wife they were taking our ENTIRE refund due to my wife being in default of her student loan. I immediately filed the Injured Spouse Allocation Form (Form 8379) and since I make most of the money in our household ($60,000 anually compared to my wife's $30,000), my accountant claimed our entire itemized deductions of just over $25,000 in my name. I had about $9,700 in taxes withheld from my salary and my wife had about $4,000 withheld. Does anyone have any idea/experience to know HOW MUCH of a refund I can expect and HOW LONG the process takes once the Injured Spouse form is filed? I would greatly appeciate any insight into this.
